Into The Wilde
Exhibition Open 04.06.10 - 05.09.10
Artists - Maria Fernando Barrero | Abigail Box | Sylvia Freshwater | Arran Gregory | Patrick Milsom | David A Smith
The Trafalgar Hotel has teamed up with jotta Contemporary to present a thought-provoking exhibition exploring the relationship between aestheticism and corruption, where the enchantment of decadence reveals undertones of perverse animal instinct and deviant beauty.
Drawing inspiration from the themes of a classic Victorian fiction by Oscar Wilde, the group show interrogates ‘the artist as creator of beautiful things’ where ‘vice and virtue are the artist’s materials’. Spectators fuelling their aesthetic urges for ‘surface and symbol’ in the upper Rockwell will discover hidden below the surface, in the Lower Rockwell, a complex and cautionary tale of exceptional beauty.
